The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been
set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

A tenure-track appointment is intended in the area of computational linguistics beginning September 2010 associated with the professional MA program and PhD track in Computational Linguistics. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service; the successful applicant will teach graduate and undergraduate courses, supervise student research, and develop a high-impact research program. This position is full-time (100% FTE), with a 9-month service period.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in Linguistics, Computer Science, or related field and be highly qualified for undergraduate and graduate teaching and independent research. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. However, we are particularly interested in scholars active in the areas of machine learning, speech technology, computational semantics and dialogue systems. The ideal candidate will complement and build on existing strengths within the department, and will be eager to interact with students and faculty from the broader linguistics and language processing community at the University of Washington.
